Arman Tsarukyan stated he hopes Justin Gaethje misses weight so he can fight Ilia Topuria instead, saying his goal is to 'kick him out of the UFC.' Tsarukyan declared he won't stop until he has at least five title defenses. Merab Dvalishvili clarified he has no issues with Dagestani fighters except Umar Nurmagomedov, whom he dislikes, and emphasized healthy competition between fighters from Armenia, Georgia, Chechnya, and Dagestan. Topuria, who updated his chest tattoo, called Arman 'incredibly stupid' and 'a complete cringe,' saying Arman spends his father's money and isn't on his level, threatening to break his jaw in the first round. Tsarukyan discussed a potential bout with Alexander Volkanovski and outlined near-term prospects for Khamzat Chimaev. Demetrious Johnson predicted a confident victory for Chimaev over Sean Strickland. Benoit Saint-Denis hinted at a fight with Paddy Pimblett by posting roast beef (an English dish) on social media. Bogdan Guskov declined a fight with Baranyewski.
